| mycobacterium avium-related epizootic in free-ranging lesser flamingos in kenya. | an epizootic in free-ranging lesser flamingos (phoeniconaias minor) in kenya resulted in more than 18,500 deaths from august through mid-november 1993. disease was concentrated along the shores of rift valley lakes bogoria and nakuru (kenya) and did not involve any of the other avian or mammalian species frequenting the lakes. coincidental to the outbreak was a bloom of algae on lake bogoria, toxins from which were first suspected to be causative. discrete necrotic and granulomatous lesions were ... | 1999 | 10231756 |
| comparison of sypro ruby and flamingo fluorescent stains for application in proteomic research. | fluorescent dyes are widely used for the detection and quantitation of proteins separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. sypro ruby is one such fluorescent dye widely used for this purpose. more recently, another fluorescent dye, flamingo, is available for expression proteomic research. using a standard ultraviolet (uv) transilluminator and a charge-coupled device (ccd)-based imaging system, the relative sensitivity of these two different fluorescent stains with regard to detection of pr ... | 2010 | 19917264 |
| drug resistance and r plasmids in escherichia coli strains isolated from imported pet birds. | drug resistance in escherichia coli strains isolated from pet birds (mynahs, macaws, finches, common bengals, parrots, and flamingos) imported into japan from 10 foreign countries in 1977 and 1978 was investigated. of the 309 strains isolated from 127 pet birds in the animal quarantine service, 232 (75.1%) were drug resistant. furthermore, strains resistant to oxytetracycline hydrochloride, dihydrostreptomycin, and sulfadimethoxine were relatively common. resistance patterns varied from single t ... | 1980 | 6163947 |
